The Second Battle of Tuyuti was fought on November 3, 1867 between the Paraguayan Army and a smaller allied Brazilian-Argentinian force. The Paraguayans lost twice as many soldiers as the allies and were defeated.

With the capture of Tayi on November 2, 1867 in the Paraguayan War, the Allied forces had the Paraguayan encampments of Humaita and Curupayti along the Paraguay river encircled. Gen. Jose Barreto had 5,000 men at Tayi, Gen. Andrade Neves had a Brazilian division at Estancia San Solano, Marshal Caxias had 25,000 troops at Tuyucue, and Gen. Porto Alegre had 16,000 men at Tuyuti. Additionally, the Brazilian Navy had 18 steamers at Curuzi and 5 ironclads opposite Humaita. President Francisco Solano López decided to attack the Allied supply bases at Tuyuti and Itapiru on the River Parana.
